Storage Requirements

• Store in tightly sealed containers made of compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel or approved chemical-resistant drums).
• Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Maintain storage away from oxidizing agents, acids, and ignition sources.
• Use explosion-proof ventilation systems to prevent vapor buildup.
• Ensure containers are properly grounded and bonded to reduce static discharge risk.

Handling Precautions

• Handle only in well-ventilated areas or fume hoods.
• Avoid inhalation, skin contact, and eye exposure due to corrosive vapors.
• Wear appropriate PPE:
  • Chemical-resistant gloves
  • Safety goggles or face shield
  • Protective clothing or lab coat
• Keep away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces.
• Use closed systems or transfer equipment to minimize vapor release.
• Wash thoroughly after handling and avoid contamination of work surfaces.

Spill & Leak Response

• Remove all ignition sources immediately.
• Contain spill using inert absorbent materials.
• Ventilate area thoroughly.
• Dispose of waste according to local hazardous chemical regulations.
